WASHING TON LETTER.
From our REGULAR correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
The Natl drill and encampment
opened in this city this week. The
first day was devoted to the re
ception of soldiers and their wei
come to the city, and after the camp
was formally named the organiza
tons proceeded to draw for posi-.
tons, and a dress parade by the first
brigade closed the opening exercises
The competitive drilling will begin
on the second day.
There will be a hospital service
for the drill under the management
OF the Red Cross Society. 1t will
consist of tents and field barrack 8
erected near the headquarters of the
drill, comprising headquarters tent
or barracks, invalid wards of dis
pensary diet, kitchens, etc. Pro,
visions are made for one hundred
patients, so you see the soldiers who
may fall sick far from home will
have the kiudest care and treatment.
The hospital will be under the
entire charge of the Red Cross So
ciety, directed by Miss Clara Barton,
the national president, who will
have a dozen local physicians and
surgeons on her staff. AT first
thought the department may appear
TO be a very superhuous contingent
of the event, but when it is con
sidered that there will be about
eight thousand men under constant
eXeruon, many Of whom are uuac-
customed to tent life, and that their
habits Of life will be changed as TO
water, food, climate and many
other things, il will be seen that a
number OF them VIII probably be on
the sick list and that the hospital is
one Of the most Indispensable fea-
lures of the drill.
The death Of Justice Woods, of
the Il. S. Supreme Court, has revived
the gossip as 70 whom the President
will be likely to appoint to the va
oaney on the Supreme Bench.
Among the eminent lawyers who
have aspired TO occupy a seat upon
the highest tribunal Of the land,

ally the first person thought Of, as

now that he has his share of the
spoils, he is willing 10 shut OF the

Well, he is convert worth the
having, occupying the place he
does as the active man of the COM
mission.
"Of late" continues the lugu-
brious Democrat, "every time a
civil service commissioner has under

he has added to the frequent dem
onstration that the commission is
not only useless, but machine to
establish an Office. holding class in
positions which are simple and well
paid, and which ought to belong to
the people"
The people ought to be satisfied
if the affairs of the government
are administered purely in their
interest; and if the methods of ad.
ministration instituted by agents of
the people under laws enacted by
the representatives of the people,
accomplish this one end of ad.
ministration, the people have nc
reason to complain. Under the
spoils system these positions, "be-
longing to the people," are used in
part for party ends which are not
always identical with the peoples
interests. All the people have a
right to ask of an administration is
the best possible conduct of the
public business, and if this il

of office among s5oordinates and
even among officials who have nc
concern with questions of policy,

Farm Indebtedness

The farmers in the province of
Ontario, Canada, are struggling
under an enormous mortage in
debtdness Of some $85, 100000,
which carries from 6 to per cent,
interest. The low prices of farm
products make it difficult for the
Canadian farmer to get from under
his heavy load of debt, and a
number of projects for his benefit
are being discussed.
One scheme is to establish a
Government bank similar to that
which was tried in Norway in 1915
from which farmers could borrow
money at 4 per cent, paying each
year with their interest per cent
also of the principal of the debt.
But this experiment ended in dis
astrous failure in the short period
Of three years. The land de-
preciated, probably from the in
ability of the farmers to pay what
was the equivalent of 9 per cent.
interest OH their loans. The bank
suspended in 1919, and when, four
years later, ii resumed payments,
its notes were worth only half their
face value. The Bank of Norway
affords a strong illustration of the
impracticability of founding a bank
circulation on a basis of land Sc
curity. The only successful banking
system yet devised is that which
rests upon a foundation of Govern
ment bonds or readily convertible
securities of some kind.
There are many farmers in the
United States who, like their Can
adam brethren, are struggling with
heavy mortgages drawing high
rate Of interest. 1t is not easy to
devise a remedy for them, though
it might be suggested that if the
building and loan associations, which
have accomplished such extraordi-
nary results in towns and cities,
could be introduced into the country
great benefit would probably re
suit from it. We believe an attempt
of this kind has been made in few
places, but it is too soon to speak Of
lis results. The principle of the
system is that the borrower pays
interest to himself, instead of to
some outside money-lender, and
thus reaps himself the profit of the
loan.

For Once Bragg Prevails.

The re-appointment of Ed.
Whaley, for sixteen years post
master at Praire du Chen must be
attributed largely to the personal
and persistent efforts of Gen.
Brsgg. Whaley, of course is a re.
publican. He is also a one-legged
veteran of the Sixth Wisconsin aud
fought with Bragg in the Iron
Brigade. He was promoted from
sergeant to captain in 1864 and in
the last battle in which he partlci
pated, at Five Forks, he received
the wound which cost him his leg.
He and Bragg, although of different
political faith, are fast friends, and
Bragg made a personal appeal to
the president for his retention,
In this he was backed up by nine
tenths of the people of Praire du
Chen, irrespective OF party, with
whom Whaley is very popular, such
democrats as John Lawler urging
that he be retained in the position
which he has filled to the salts
faction of every one for sixteen years.
Editor Merrill, of the PriArle du
Chen Courier made an effort to get
the place and visited Washington
in January for that purpose. His
paper, which at one time was as.
sailing the administration, sudden
ly turned around and bestowed
lavish praise on Cleveland aud Villas,
but ali to no purpose. Bragg has
prevailed and Mr.. Whaley remains
postmaster Union.

Enjoy LIFE.

What truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeur
of mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in
perfect health; but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving
it up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there
is no occasion for this feeling, as
every sufferer can easily obtain sat
isfactory proof, that Green's August

disease, as when born. Dyspepsia
and liver complaint are the direct
causes of seventy-6ve per cent. of
such maladies as biliousness, indi-
gestion, sick headache, costiveness,
nervous prostration, dizziness of the
head, palpitation of the heart, aud
other distressing symptoms. Three
doses of August Flower will prove
its wonderful effect. Sample bottles,

his ambitions have long been known.
Speaker Carlisle is also mentioned
as man who could, perhaps, secure
the appointment if he desired it.
Up to short time ago it is known
that the Speaker would have been
glad to have retired from political
life with an assured future in so
honorable and agreeable position,
but it is thought he has since i'm
bibed ambitions which have changed
his feelings in this regard.
Hon. Randolph Tucker, of Vir.
ginia, is mentioned as competent
lawyer, but he would be debarred
the honor if the rule Of precedent is
followed which directs the appoint
ment of justice from within the
circuit for which he is selected.
Ex-senator Mcdonald does not
come within its boundaries, ex-Sen.
ator Thurman has already passed
the age of voluntary retirement
from the Supreme Bench, and ex-
Governor Hoadly has friends who
urge that he escapes all grounds of
objection. They argue that his
state is the proper one for which to
make the selection, that his constitu-
tional views are the advanced views
of his party, that his war record is
unimpeachable, his legal attainments
unquestionable and his position fl.
nancially and politically such as to
make the appointment specially
gracious and deserved. 1t is many
years since Democratic President
had an opportunity to fill place on
the Supreme Bench.
The Supreme Court room in the
Capitol, the doors leading into it,
and the chair formerly occupied by
the late Associate Justice are heav-
lily draped in black. According to
custom in case of the death of JUS
tice ofthis tribunal, the Associate
Justices act as honorary pall-bearers
and the remains are carried to the
grave by actual court messengers.
On last Friday President Ceve-
land visited the tomb of George
Washington for the first time in his
life. He went on the invitation of
the widow of Gen. Logan, in com
pany with select little party who
were also piloted by this lady to the
historic spot. Mrs. Logan is one of
the Regents of the Mount Vernon
Association.
On the following morning another
party which had never before had a
trip down the Potomac boarded a
steamer. 1t was the "Forty. miners"
as they call the California pioneers
who crossed the plains in 40, and
who have been holding a reunion in
this city. Many of them had passed
the allotted span of three-seore years
and ten, some were in the eighties
and few boarded on ninety years
of age, but as the boat swung out
from the wharf and started down
the sunlit river toward the plank j
shad dinner which was waiting for
them below at Marshall Hall, judy
ing from their gay spirits there was
not an old man on board.
